Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose New pond Ontario Canada.

We we are digging our first pond. We are grading the sub soil right now and cutting in our rip rap rock skirting.

The pond is about .25 to .30 acre in size kidney shaped to limit wave action. We have two very deep ends 18 feet and 16 feet with a ridge in the middle of the kidney for spawning that is about 3-5 feet deep.

The plan is to have two 9" aeration heads in each deep end to run 12 hours only at night.

The pond is just starting to fill up NEED RAIN.....

I plan on stocking fathead minnows as soon as I can. I understand when I have 6 feet of water.

We want to get some numbers for stocking the fish in the spring of 2013. We want to run some walleye, perch, maybe black crappy. Looking for advice on stocking of these three or should we just stick with walleye and perch?

Will post some pictures of the finished pond as we have it dug out now.

Cheers Don.
